Australia’s energy system has a governance structure that includes AEMO, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), the Energy Security Board (ESB) and the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Energy Council.

AEMO is an independent organisation that operates on a user-pays cost-recovery basis, with all operating costs recovered through fees paid by industry participants. Our ownership is shared between government and industry.
